Aspley Suburb Profile  

Close to the city yet far enough away to enjoy a relaxed and quiet lifestyle, living in Aspley is an appealing choice for those looking to invest in their first family home. Forget cramped inner-city apartments; here residents enjoy spacious, modern townhouses or classic Australian homes with generous backyards for energetic children. Friendly neighbours and a real community-centric culture make this Brisbane ‘burb feel like home. 

Aspley’s amenities are second to none, and there are many ways residents can get to know their neighbours. Aspley Hornets is a classic no-frills football club where locals can come together over a meal or join one of the popular AFL teams. The Aspley Leagues Club is another popular entertainment venue, which comes alive during footy season. 

Aspley Hypermarket is the suburb’s hub for food, shopping, beauty, and medical services. Inside, you’ll find supermarkets, pharmacies, homewares stores, takeaway food, women’s fashion, and more. For furniture, bedding, and outdoor products, Aspley Homemaker Centre is a local go-to. Avid shoppers who are after some serious retail therapy can drive to nearby Chermside or 13 kilometers to Brisbane CBD. 

Locals are blessed with a moderate climate year-round in Aspley, and suitably, there are plenty of trails, parks, and picnic spots to enjoy the sun in. True to its name, Rainbow Lorikeet Park is frequented by beautiful birdlife. The popular family spot has a playground, picnic area, and BBQ area, which is a bit of a hidden gem when summer rolls around. Marchant Park is also a hit with locals, thanks to its expansive cricket fields, fitness equipment, and biking and walking tracks.

Aspley State School, Aspley East State School, and St. Dympna’s Primary School are the area’s primaries, while Aspley State High School and Aspley Special School are the secondaries.
